a woman in grainy sunlight with plants. Sunglass in a warm summer dream
a chair in a pink room under a photo of a couple on vacation

What would a broadcast from a dream look like?

...Signal Found...

an upside down tree over a throne
woman crossing the street with grain
an empty briefcase from Saint Citrus in a white void room
a grainy total eclipse in 2024
a fan misting a summer day
faceless man looking down
grainy red hand holding red light
faceless man standing on a long stretch of road in Iceland
a grainy door floating in the middle of nowhere
red and blue lights on a car through plants and trees at night
[interlude]
Tomorrow old film frames and sound sewn to ghosts.
man walking vertically up a building
a woman looking behind a shoulder showing only one eye
hand holding open a window curtain
endless stairs leading downwards
a hand coming out of shadows holding something
ladder going up to water in the sky
pink and purple sunrise through a plane window
faceless woman coming out of grainy water
a blue, orange, and red neon bar sign with motion
fantasy island amusement park lighthouse ride at night with motion
a neon exit sign with a woman walking under it

Dirty Static is a glimpse of a fading memory, our memories, tuned into from an old television at 3AM. A dreamlike liminal image in which bodies rest in equilibrium, having gathered on, yet unable to connect.

What would a broadcast from a dream look like?
